[Apple, Microsoft] Google+ Is the Social Network That’s All About Search

Did you hear that Google launched a socialnetwork called Google+? In the past, Google took a stab at social by purchasing Orkut. Kinda seems like Google is the Elizabeth Taylor of the social world, doesn’t it? Given those four trips down the social aisle, and the fact that employee bonuses are tied to getting social right this year, it’s pretty clear Google is borderline obsessed about social. When we use Google+, we are creating data, all of which is within the Google network. That’s why it is so critical that Google get social right.
